The rare collectible features the colorful motif “Auerbachs Keller” and is personally signed by Udo Lindenberg in blue Sharpie. The autograph was obtained personally in 2019 at the edge of an event in Berlin.

The original work is a large-format painting (160 × 200 cm) which Lindenberg created in his characteristic mixed technique – the so-called “Likörellen” using alcohol – on canvas.
It was created as a pop-cultural answer to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust I and shows the famous tavern scene as a dense crowd of people with a red comic Mephisto in the foreground.
In August 1999 the series was shown at the Weimar Castle Museum during the exhibition “Doktor Panik.”
This phase is regarded as the moment when Lindenberg was scientifically recognized by the established art world.

The rare card is framed with an individual slanted-cut mat.
